Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
While visiting Cincinnati over the President’s Day weekend, my grandparents wanted to go out for dinner with my dad and me. After some searching, we decided that Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant in Kenwood would be a good place to go out because they had an expansive gluten-free menu and lots of choices for the gluten, and non-gluten eaters in our party. When I arrived our waiter brought out the restaurant’s […]
When it comes to pizza options in Washington D.C., it’s hard not to miss &Pizza, the District’s homegrown and hip fast-casual pizza chain. Self-described as the “anti-establishment establishment,” &Pizza is built around a core value of creativity, and caters each store to reflect the ethos and individuality of their surrounding neighborhood. In the same way, &Pizza’s creations are as unique as the customer ordering them, because one can choose the […]
Update 4/18/2: Since my initial review, Bibibop Asian Grill has gone 100% gluten-free. Stay tuned for an updated review coming soon! More info about the menu changes can be found here. Although I am by no means a big fan of sports, there’s something about the Olympic Games that gets me really excited every two years. This year, the Winter Games are taking place in the South Korean city of […]
If there’s one thing the world needs, it’s more dedicated gluten-free bakeries. These magical cafes are places where sweet and savory treats are in abundance and fear can be left at the doorstep. The latest gluten-free bakery to pop up in the DC region is The Red Bandana Bakery in Bethesda, MD. While not a newcomer by any means (they have been a Bethesda farmer’s market staple for years), their brick and mortar location […]
Subs. Hoagies. Heros. Submarine sandwich. Whatever you call them, they’re really hard to find gluten-free options at sub shops, much less find one that knows how to prepare them safely (shared knives and counters are a cross contamination danger zone!). In my six years of going gluten-free, I have never found a place where I could walk in and order a sub and reclaim the normal experience I so enjoyed […]
After spending Christmas with my family in North Carolina, it was time to head back north where I have officially moved to DC. Road trips are always trying- especially when dealing with holiday traffic, but I looked forward to stopping for lunch in Richmond, Virginia because it would be an opportunity to explore a new restaurant there. After combing for a good place to stop for lunch, Citizen Burger Bar kept coming up […]
As a gluten and dairy-free diner, I meticulously research restaurant options whenever I know I will be dining out. Most of the restaurants I visit are selected from this process, but in the case of Viva Chicken in Charlotte, NC, my decision to dine there was based purely on a whim. I was visiting North Carolina for the holidays, and my mom and I were out running errands after Christmas. We had already […]
In the past few weeks I’ve let pending reviews pile up, because I have been in the midst of graduating college and moving to DC in addition to the usual stressors of the holiday season. Now that the pace of life has slowed a bit, I am excited to share a new foodie find I discovered in my last week as a Maryland resident: Grabbagreen. While Grabbagreen can be categorized […]
Although my return to Central Florida for Thanksgiving was brief, I did manage to get some foodie tourism in. After touching down at Orlando’s airport, my mom suggested checking out Fresh Kitchen for lunch. With a 100% gluten-free menu and allergy-awareness for other allergens, I was easily sold. Fresh Kitchen is a Florida-based chain with locations dotted around the state. The location I visited (Waterford Lakes) opened just a few […]
Image credit: Fruitive Of all the smoothie/acai bowl places I have found in Washington DC, Fruitive holds a special place in my heart because they have a 100% plant-based menu and their smoothie bowls (my review) are always swoon-worthy. Staying overnight in Washington DC one weekend, I woke up wanting to find some place to find “breakfast” food. Usually I opt for a piece of fruit and a protein bar […]
